I'm a rehire guy from 2005 (Oct '16 class) and re-upgraded 4 months ago. Flying consistently on P1 and P2 in NYC. Junior guys like me are essentially street captains and will continue to be pushed to the bottom as the 2015 FO's get the 1000 121 time. CNO lines go junior so QOL is ok with the commute and extra day off. Not used a lot when I'm on P3. As far as ready reserve, they don't use it like the past, however, junior reserves will get it occasionally. Normal reserve shifts are 14 hours, Ready Reserve shifts are 8 hrs. You can request to sit ready reserve but you won't necessarily get it unless there is a need and extra Captains to assign it. Depending on movement, a quick upgrade would probably sit reserve at least a year to 18 months in NYC. But it could be longer depending on how many FO's take the upgrade and are willing to commute rather than hold off until they can hold their current base.
Hope this helps.
